Erosão Septet, composed by outstanding musicians from the Cologne, Copenhagen and Berlin jazz/experimental scene, uses song as raw material for free improvisation. Mariá's songs are intertwined with other elements, such as Brazilian musical tradition, international pop music, European classical music, and pieces from the other musicians in the septet. These "samples" form a musical compendium with which the musicians can freely play and relate to when improvising. With this approach, Portugal seeks to challenge the conventional idea of authorship and established musical hierarchies between voice and instruments and between composition and improvisation, subverting the common format of a pop/jazz-song concert.
